Chapter 48: Lantern Festival Special
Not every planet has a moon similar to the moon around the Earth, but coincidentally, there is also a natural solid-state satellite around the Emperor Star that orbits around it.
To paraphrase a history teacher's favorite phrase – history is always strikingly similar.
There are also very special similarities between planets.
People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny. The same is true on this natural satellite.
As a result, people will also formulate some similar festivals according to the shortage of satellites, and the Lantern Festival is also among them.
Si Nian didn't expect to be able to live the Lantern Festival in another world. But such a festival is always a surprise.
In many places, this place is very similar to the world in which Si Nian lived in the past, to be precise, there are many similarities between this world and his past life thousands of years ago, and even the planet Earth has appeared in history.
Si Nian wasn't sure if this was a coincidence or some kind of implication, and his progress in exploring this world was like that of humans exploring the entire universe, which never stopped, but always seemed slow.
"What does the Lantern Festival in the imperial capital do?" Si Nian asked.
"There will be all kinds of performances, mostly singing or dancing, there will be skits and stage plays, and of course there will be some creative shows such as light shows or magic shows. However, the most attractive thing is the mecha show, which is probably the characteristic of the imperial capital, and the live broadcast and broadcast of the mecha show every year can be sold at a good price. Louis replied.
"That's all? Didn't you use other folk customs? Si Nian asked in surprise.
"What folklore?"
The changes of the times have caused many cultural traditions to disappear in the river of history, and the evolution of thousands of years has made the activities in the holiday season develop into a model that is more suitable for modern society.
When people enter the interstellar age, there was a very difficult time, when a person can't even eat enough, I am afraid it is difficult for him to remember the tradition.
Festivals like the Lantern Festival, I am afraid that they gradually remembered or found from some records after living a comfortable life.
"Don't you know how to put up lanterns, guess lantern riddles, dance lions, and eat Lantern Festival?" Si Nian found a few folk activities that could best represent the Lantern Festival, and Luis asked.
Louis's confused expression gave Si Nian the best answer.
"What is 'Putting on a Show'?" What is a riddle? Why do lions 'dance'? Isn't 'Lantern Festival' the meaning of Lantern Festival? Why eat it? Louis couldn't answer a series of questions, maybe the ancient books in a certain site could give Louis an answer, provided that there were such ancient books and they were not corrupted into ashes.
"'Zhang Lantern Tie Cai' means to hang lanterns and tie colored silk, and many places will decorate it in this way when we celebrate the Lantern Festival." Lantern riddles are riddles written on lanterns, and the Lantern Festival has the custom of guessing lantern riddles, which is a very interesting activity. 'Lion dance' is a kind of performance in which two people dance at the head and at the end, and the two people cooperate with each other to dress up as lions and make various forms of lion movements. As for the Lantern Festival, it is a kind of food, because it is eaten during the Lantern Festival, so it gets its name. There are many other folk customs in the world where I used to live, and different places have different ways of celebrating them because of their different customs. Although he thought that these things could not be explained at all in a few words, Si Nian patiently gave a brief explanation to Luis.
"Sounds like a good thing, what kind of food is that Lantern Festival?" Although he listened a lot, Louis still focused on eating, and the foodie habits cultivated by Si Nian showed good reflexes in this regard.
Having said so much, Si Nian himself was a little greedy, so he collected all the raw materials as much as possible, and specially made two kinds of food, Lantern Festival and Tangyuan, to explain the difference between the two to Louis.
Louis ate the food prepared by Si Nian while leisurely watching the mecha show.
I can't help but sigh in my heart: It doesn't matter if it's a lantern festival or a dumpling, anyway, as long as it's made every year, I love to eat it!
